It would if it doesn't go any higher... That HC would fit about anything.

Maybe, but with shipping, it will likely be over $100 by the end of the auction.

It would also depend on the availability of parts for that machine, if any are needed.

The HC looks like it has no "finger". It attaches to the stop motion knob and the bed of the machine (not to a HC boss). Also, they said "Mounted on oak wood base/table/stand (looks like the base of a portable machine)." I wonder if it doesn't fit the base or if they just didn't set the hinge pins in properly.

I wish the pictures were better. I would be wary of the rust, but maybe that's just me.
